Welcome to A Wiki in the Desert, a wiki for the Massively Multiplayer On-line Role-Playing Game A Tale in the Desert.
This wiki exists to document the game and to provide a community scratchpad for the players. You can find Guides on things such as growing Flax, an Atlas of interesting places, and various personal pages created by the Users and Guilds. If you're looking to buy and sell, try Trading. Visit the community portal for lots of info on current events, debates on the forums, or just random chatter.
Anyone with an ATITD game account can edit any page on this site, but you have to log in first. Please read the user's guide and information on formatting to see how to edit, and read our Policies before editing. Politics are not welcome (exception: Users pages, but no personal attacks please) and, if you want to discuss something such as laws, you'll find the forums more suitable. If you have any difficulties, please ask around in game or contact a wiki admin.
If you have a suggestion for how to improve the wiki software, please add it to the Suggestions page. If you have a suggestion for improving the content, please just go ahead and do it! If you want to contribute but don't know how, start creating missing pages listed here, or verify the information in pages containing unchecked content copied from the T3 wiki.
We also have a voice chat server setup for Mumble.

Wahim's Bargain
02/03/2010 Wahim's Bargain was successful on the ballot. Environmental Reclamation
Wahim addressed the citizens of Egypt and offered them a bargain:
2010-01-30 21:31:32 Wahim: --- 2010-01-30 21:31:47 Wahim: I have noticed the blight caused by vegetable fertilizer, and I come to you with a cure, should you accept it. 2010-01-30 21:32:09 Wahim: This is not my invention, but one that scientists at our Great Universities of Harmony have know about for a while, yet have been reluctant to release. 2010-01-30 21:32:26 Wahim: Unfortunately, they don't share my sense of "curiosity", and insist on a vote to release such "controversial" research. 2010-01-30 21:32:45 Wahim: So we shall have a vote. 2010-01-30 21:32:59 Wahim: This new technology will consist of an Aqueduct upgrade and special beacons that quickly clean up pollution caused by fertilizer in specific areas; both will keep such areas clean. 2010-01-30 21:33:22 Wahim: As a little bonus, land around the cleanup beacons becomes privately owned by the beacon owner, and only those with permission (by guild, public/private) can build in the area. 2010-01-30 21:33:32 Wahim: Each Egyptian will be given two such beacons. 2010-01-30 21:33:41 Wahim: Look for my law on the next ballot. 2010-01-30 21:33:45 Wahim: --- | |

A new Events page!
A New Events Page has been started to try and catalog events in a more orderly manner. Please follow the current method and add events to their own page and list them in order of occurrence on the Events page.
The old page still exists, at The Old Current Events Page.
How to Log In
If you have problems logging in, please contact FaceAnkh ingame (or just FaceAnkh by IRC, forum PM, etc).
Before you can log in you must set your webpass in game: Log into the game and type /webpass atitd.org password (meaning you replace password with your password).
Once you have created a web pass you log in here with "Login with OpenId" (top right).
Your open id is atitd.org/openid/YourName.
You should be sent to a page to then type in your account name and password you set in game with the webpass command. If you logged in to openid recently, it won't ask again.
If you forget your password, just re-set it in-game by using the webpass command again.
